Alas, this is my final blog post of the summer as the TBS Intern. My time this summer working with Shameeka has been so wonderful and enriching; I’m sad it’s over! My final three favorite things of the summer reflect my excitement about getting back to the grind at school, though they are certainly all great products for day to [...]
“Hello. My name is The Broke Socialite and I, in fact, am addicted to Pinterest.” Are you? It’s been a few months since I received one of the much coveted invitations to create my very own virtual inspiration boards that are related to style, food and wine, products that I love and more. To say that I’m an addict is [...]
Hi Everyone! I know…I know…it’s been a while. Honestly, I’ve been busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest. I’ve REALLY missed blogging and am trying to figure how I can STILL maintain a presence; after all, the blog was my first love and it serves as a foundation for EVERYTHING that I’ve been able to accomplish including lavish!, [...]
This weekend, I’ll be enjoying an outdoor concert with the most delightful group of girlfriends, including bloggers My Brown Baby and True Southern Elegance. We’ve been anticipating this outing for a couple of months now and we could not be more excited. As I am addicted to most any maxi dress that’s actually long enough (remember: I’m nearly 6 feet [...]
…and that is all. Do y’all? My DVR is a tad lighter and my 4 PM each weekday is empty without Aunt Oprah. She’s promised us that she’s working on dynamic programming at OWN and I can’t wait to hear what’s up her sleeves (and how about that L’Wren Scott dress that she wore on the last show? *faints*). While [...]
Last week, I was invited to an advance screening of the much anticipated movie, The Help, (surely you’ve heard of it…unless you’ve been under a boulder, that is) which was based on the novel with the same name. I have been a fan of the author, Kathryn Stockett and the book since I read it. I’ve told anyone who [...]
Over the summer while I have NOT been blogging (*pops own hand*), I’ve become a pseudo mixologist. There are so many fantastic cocktails and who am I not to offer of my taste buds. I LOVE searching the internet for new ideas. I must admit that Saveur has been one of my go-to spots for concoctions to help me survive [...]
So what do you think? Have you looked around here a bit? Cool, right? Well, let me tell you. I surely have missed everyone over the past 5 months. My respite from blogging was absolutely, positively necessary. I KNOW that I am stepping back into THIS space more rested (bloggers need downtime, too, you know?) and with a much [...]
I was watching the pilot for The Chicago Code last night when a Blackberry App World commercial ad. Never have I seen such an influential brand highlight the importance/reality of blogging. Take a gander at the clip below. I must say that it gave me chills. Don’t get me wrong…I think these “food bloggers” are supposed to be Every Blogger. [...]
You are a working mom to eight year old twins. Your next door neighbor has a daughter in their class. You’ve been paying for aftercare and are OK with doing so. One day, your neighbor approaches you and offers to let your kids get off of the bus at her house. After all, she’s a stay-at-home mom and will be [...]
